Misagh-2
The Misagh-2 (Also known as Mithaq-2, means Covenant in English) is an Iranian man-portable infrared-guided surface-to-air missile. The Misagh-2 is the successor to the Misagh-1. Like its predecessor, the Misagh-2 is based on Chinese technology, and in particular is believed to be an Iranian copy of the Chinese QW-1M MANPADS. It is roughly comparable to the Soviet SA-18 Grouse (9k38 Igla) missiles.

History
History
Iran's defense minister launched the domestic mass production of the Misagh-2 in February 2006 with the production line being opened; it is manufactured at the Shahid Shah Abhady Industrial Complex. It was reported that various countries were invited to witness the use of the Misagh-2.
Design
Design
When fired, the Misagh-2 destroys its target within 5 second and has an operation temperature of -40 °C to +60 °C. The missile speed reaches 2.7+ Mach when it approaches its target. The battery unit of the Misagh-2 is parallel to the launch tube, while the battery unit of the Misagh-1 is perpendicular. However, it is generally not possible to distinguish the Misagh-2 from the QW-1M, the QW-18, or the Misagh-3.
